1489. Safety and Performance of a Pharmacist-Driven Nasal MRSA PCR Protocol for De-escalation of Empiric Vancomycin for Suspected Pneumonia at an Academic Medical Center
BACKGROUND: Limited published data supports the de-escalation of empiric anti-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) antibiotics for suspected pneumonia upon negative nasal MRSA screening. Besides limited sample sizes, special populations, such as those who are immunocompromised and/or c...
